Seeing the P5 cast reunited and having a good time is so cute and wholesome. Not only do you guys look a lot like the characters you play but you guys are such amazing friends too.

[@carpetfresh9278]

I know right! they look like the characters and you can hear their characters voices as well especially Cherami looks and you can definitely hear Makoto when she talks

[@requiem165]

I agree, Casandra doesn’t look too dissimilar from morgana 😂

[@Chrissaiyanjojoknight]

And to say about these english voice actress girls here in america and shit,they look like someone you know that's so into ANIME!(Like Otaku and shit and...WHY SHE DIDN'T GET ERICA LINDBECK LOL!😆Been months now and yeah whatever lol!.

[@Chrissaiyanjojoknight]

Yeah like you went to school with them and their all like Otaku's lol 😆

[@davidtimmer596]

[@captaincube132]

Glad to see IRL Cherami has the same "team mom" energy as Makoto

[@amtrak_121]

Call Asuna by her name!

[@djjin5768]

Welp, that didn't age well, because now, Cherami has become a mommy for real. 🤣

[@Sprite_thefilmnerd]

I have now fallen in love with seeing the persona cast being friends IRL

[@codywhite6337]

Just the best thing ever. You all were truly an amazing cast and you've given us performances that will last throughout the ages definitely. Ann, Makoto, Morgana, Haru each of them were incredible to get to know in the game and seeing how you gave them your best to bring them to life I'm just speechless to be honest. As an aspiring actor myself looking up to role models like you guys just fills me with pride and joy knowing that even I can get there one day through hard work and determination. So thank you for giving us these amazing characters truly :)

[@joshuafranklin8599]

Half of it is you. I think the one thing that is a puzzle piece that no one can solve but you is how you relate to the piece you are performing. Don't give up on acting when things get tough my friend

[@leorojas6390]

Seeing Erika hug morgana is the most cutest thing I've ever seen! I was melting from the cuteness of that moment! ^^

[@davidtimmer596]

Definitely. Erika herself is naturally a very wholesome person. I really love her smile.

[@red2977]

yea that was pretty much cuteness overload

[@statesminds]

Philemon is from the original persona games. He created Igor. The butterflies are Philemon’s motif. All the games are connected loosely so Igor is still Philemon’s servant in p5.

[@GlennRCB]

I love how Erika is just head and shoulders above everyone when they stand together 🤣

[@MrMadmenProductions]

I know, right? I didn't know she was that tall! 😂

[@deecee7073]

She looks really tall as well I’m 5’9 sometimes 5’10 depending on the scale but she looks way taller than me I don’t why lol

[@bhume7535]

Its even funnier because she is the average male height. All the women are just short. lol

[@-Mousey]

Just imagine you’re in the cafe and not even realizing they’re there with you. Love this game so much.

[@deecee7073]

Just imagine drinking coffee then you start hearing mona 😅

[@-Mousey]

@@deecee7073 omg I would prolly spit my coffee out with excitement lmao

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

I'd be quoting Persona 5, making in-character jokes, and fanboying all day LONG with them if they'd let me!

[@-Mousey]

@@DJROCKSTAZ same!!!! I’m replaying it now but this time finally playing the Royal version and enjoying every second.

[@eekpanggang]

[@tylermarkle5114]

17:51 That is the biggest fan service I ever seen! Mona voice actor meets Mona!

[@requiem165]

12:31 in sync: REALLY?!!!??? Adorable! 😂❤

[@riddypr]

Everything about that Morgana segment was adorable. Also, the Requiem Café looks great. Maybe in 5 years time when they might make it Persona themed again, I'll try to visit (granted I'd have to fly halfway around the world to do so but still).

[@davidtimmer596]

Indeed. The Morgana segment was my favorite. Especially Cassandra and Erika's reactions. I especially love it when Erika hugs Morgana.

[@requiem165]

Requiem?!

Persona 5 will always be my favorite video game and always feature my favorite video game and anime VA’s! Absolutely loved this!

[@x99rarecandy]

Yeah, the English cast did fantastic 😸

[@crowg791]

I'd love to meet you and the other Thieves one day 😍 12:33 Really?! 14:16 Tell the cat, Haru 17:50 Mona meets Mona

[@Cooler7328]

3:30 kid doesnt even realize he just took a pic with a lovely phantom thief in the background 😆

[@randullVO]

It just warms my heart seeing the P5 cast hang out

[@FSAPOJake]

Philemon is the creator of the Velvet room, and all of the inhabitants are part of him. Junes (pronounced "joon-ess") is the main Walmart-esque department store from Persona 4.

[@yaboydarrell]

so no one is talking about xanthe wearing shujin pants?

[@failurextreme7084]

I wonder if the person in the Mona costume has any idea that we got a ton of attention from the real lady Ann

[@TonyQuinn]

Cassandra’s reaction to the Mona cosplayer was wholesome. Also I’m constantly in awe at how beautiful Cherami is. She’s a real life Princess. Yeah that was necessary to say 😅.

[@Gabe-n8j]

Nah she’s a queen

[@Arathor82]

Playing this on my lunchbreak at work and the part ,"Tell us what the heroine tastes like." Prompted a co-worker to ask "Are you watching Cops ?"

[@littlekuribohimposte]

It was cute, but during the photoshoot with Mona, I felt the energy and had a big goofy smile just watching it

[@BlackScythe191]

In case you were wondering philemon came from p1 and the p2 duology and he is another velvet room guy.

[@Coolkidz-de3wm]

Philemon isn't just some "velvet room guy", he's the whole reason why it exists in the first place, the whole reason why the persona powers exist in the first place is because he made a wager against Nyarlathotep about humanity, and how they can overcome hardships.

[@matheusmoreira9951]

A shame the Persona series started leaving out the whole Philemon x Nyarlathotep narrative, the only small vestiges of him in the game are the butterflies that always show up for the protagonists.

[@jeremytirtokusumo6171]

If I'm not mistaken Philemon actually exists in all game through the velvet attendees due to them being a part of him, think of them as his children or reincarnations, but I do hope we get to see him again in future continuities

[@trofulds]

@@matheusmoreira9951 one of my favorite headcanons I have is that the reason why Maruki was able to come into contact with his Persona in the real world and why it's Azathoth of all things is because Nyarlethotep was bored and was like "It's been a while, I feel like fucking with humans... AGAIN" and just gave Maruki a Persona that could fulfill his ambitions

[@requiem165]

He created the velvet room and stays in butterfly form for the other persona games lol

[@pokerus6854]

I’m so glad I was able to make it on the last day before it ended! Sadly I didn’t get the picture of me in the velvet room because the couch was gone :( Tho drinking the Joker Lattè was good! And tbh while I was at the cafe, I was hoping that you or some of the P5 VAs like Cassandra, Cherami, or Xanthe would appear at the cafe but sadly no luck :( tho that doesn’t matter, I was able to make it to the anniversary event and it was fun!! :D
